Survive
by Stereowalker
Survive adds thirst, body temperature, sleep and stamina meters to survival play, and the Survive mod sits on top of UnionLib.
What it does
Players track a thirst bar above the hunger bar. Drinking water or other fluids refills it, while a bottle of water or crouch-right-clicking a water source is the quickest route. Water purified by smelting or a potion avoids the Thirst effect, which drains the bar faster. Survive requires UnionLib on every loader.
A temperature system reads the biome and nearby blocks, and worn armor shifts the result. Wool armor helps against cold, stiffened honey armor helps against heat. Extreme temperatures freeze or roast the player. Sleep deprivation slows movement and narrows vision over time, and caffeinated or sugary drinks grant the Energized effect. Stamina drops with certain actions and recovers while standing still, walking, or lying in a bed. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across nine release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.2, under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license.
Key features
Thirst bar
A bar above hunger that must be refilled with drinks, and that drains faster while the Thirst effect is active.
Body temperature
Biome, surrounding blocks and armor set the player's temperature, with freezing and roasting at the extremes.
Sleep requirement
Going without sleep for days produces debuffs on movement speed and vision, and sleeping restores the body.
Stamina meter
Actions lower a separate stamina bar that recovers while resting, walking or sleeping in a bed.

The bar acts much like hunger; if you fail to keep it full, you will begin to die of thirst. You can quickly get water by crouching and right-clicking a water source block or by…
